Okay, I spent some time looking at the system archive you uploaded. The file I was looking for is named "required_hardware.xml" on your ROM. Apparently, this is what the filename from Froyo and before the handheld_core_hardware.xml and tablet_core_hardware.xml files replaced them on Gingerbread and later. Anyways, it already contains the syntax, "<feature name="android.hardware.bluetooth" />", so I wouldn't need to change it.

It looks like BusyBox v1.8.1 is resident in /system/bin but I don't see any presence of any symlinks pointing to its internal appets. So, I might have to make a few changes to the Tasker directives in order to work on your ROM because it assumes these commands are already linked and are in the command $PATH environment variable. Maybe check the following commands in a terminal app or adb shell to make sure they respond with the path to the actual command. If it doesn't then I'll have to make a new version of the APK in order for it to work.

echo $PATH

which awk

which [

which chmod

which mount

which rm
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Great, I will check those commands in the next day or so, I have a few other things to check on the Headunit, but the car is buried under snow and I am flat out for a day or so.

I made the recovery procedure as described on page 176, but my radio is still "white screen of death". the model of my radio is:

Aikon ak-010

Adayo an6b01

board use smdkv210 .

I really need help.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Ugh... the SMDKV210 is used in two other head units and the Ouku Unbranded isn't one of them.

You're choices, according to the XDA wiki: Generic Android Head Unit:

Samsung S5PV210 (smdkv210) 1.0 Ghz Cortex A8 Single Core processors are found in the units in the Winca-Roadnav S100/S150 Wiki or Thread.

Samsung S5PV210 (smdkv210) 1.0 Ghz Cortex A8 Single Core Processors are also used the units in the Cusptech thread.

Btw, I found this thread, "Android Car Stereo (AN6B01)" which might be more suitable for your head unit. I didn't know this particular one also used a smdkv210 cpu. I may need to update the wiki again if this is true.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Alright, I went ahead and fixed the dependence on the environment PATH variable. The new apk still requires busybox but if it cannot find it then it will display the message, "Busybox binary not found in either the /system/bin or /system/xbin directories. Cannot Continue." So, this should be good enough to work with your ROMs in order to move the files around for compatibility with BT or USB ODB2 devices with Torque (Pro).

The new APK from Tasker App Factory is attached to this post along with the respective Tasker Task in case anyone wants to include it with their own Tasker Profile or Project and add their own modifications.

How to backup rom before upgrade

I just received my Ouku head unit few weeks ago. the system running Android 2.3.7 and its MCU version is 2.11.4-1-10-0101. I read the entire thread and I looked for a way to Root it

I'm looking for a fix for several issues that doesn't work as I expected:

1. 3G modem not initiated every restart (reconnect the dongle solves this)

2. no user login for Google services (Maps, Youtube)

3. Caching issues

4. missing keyboard languages.

5. no calendar application

Before proceeding with the ROM available at this thread I would like to ensure that I won't have any compatibility issues since I understood the MCU version at that ROM is older than what I currently have installed. I thought that the best way is to backup my current ROM before, the problem is that any tool I found needs Root access. I read that someone suggest Framaroot as a tool for rooting this device but when I tried it on my device I got notification that no vulnerability found.

I would appreciate recommendation for backup tool and root tool

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Technically, you cannot backup the system image without root. If the Ouku had a recovery bootloader with custom options or ADB access then it you'd have options but it doesn't. However, your reseller should be able to supply a copy of the files necessary to put on an SD Card and use the "recovery/update" process to restore the unit to the version they provide. And, they may even have updated versions available.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
That's an interesting bit of information. Gives me some hope that I may get mine working one day :p

My understanding is the best idea is to ignore the MCU. Don't flash it unless someone trustworthy tells you to. Keeping the factory version should work fine with most ROMs from the same hardware type.
[Android Head-Units] weierand:
Cannot boot to system update (to flash the CPU-Memory)

I have the same problem. That even pushing different button combination I cannot boot to system upde.

- SDCard in GPS or SD slot with data in root folder

- push button(different combination tested)

- Enable ACC+ to power on (battery cable already pluged in before)

By the way the dispay only gets "on" once I press the "power/volume" button. so I press this button after a while to see if the he boots to system update or "normaly"

Are ther people with similar problem? I bought my Android Car DVD player with GPS 3G Wifi for Toyota Yaris from happyshoppinglife
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I found the instructions in the manual were wrong and I had to hold a different button (actually I ended up holding 2 together)... Can't remember what though, and it's probably different on each face type. It took me about 5 or 6 bootups to get it... Just kill the power if you miss it. You're reflashing anyway so it wont hurt :p
[Android Head-Units] professorpaddle:
So I went ahead and rooted my unit along with these instructions. Here are some things I have noticed that I want to change. Any help would be very much appreciated. I read through the wiki but did not find specific information around this.

1. Video Out signal. Currently the unit will only send out the DVD video signal on the AUX out lines. I would like to know how I can force it to send out the video and audio even for the Android Display. IE imagine you boot up Netflix on the Head unit but want it too stream onto headrests or other screens in the car.

2. Back up Video Camera. The when engaged all Audio is stopped. I don't like that, I want to still hear the audio while the camera turns on.

3. Auto Start up apps. This is probably a simple one but I would like the ES music player to start up to the last playing file/play list when the unit is turned on. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
1. Everything is functioning normally, there is no way to mirror the android output just the DVD or Aux In sources.

2. There is a setting for mute on reverse, I don't recall if it is in the Settings>Sound menu or the Settings>General Settings>Extra Settings (PW=123456) option. Unchecking that should fix it.

3. Use Tasker to create an on boot task to launch the program of your choice, make sure on the previous boot you have killed the radio app (or whatever native app normally starts) with a long press of the back button. If ES music player uses the standard android media library you may want to add a wait command to allow android time to scan the media sources before launching the music player.
[Android Head-Units] SWEUP:
3. Is there anyway to totally disable autostart feature for the native apps? Sometimes I want to use th radioapp but don't want to back button everytime. Tried Rom toobox but couldn't figured it out.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I got the impression they are started from a script or daemon running outside of Android... Haven't looked into it at all though. I just noticed that if you don't have the source for what was playing available, it'll start the app once the source returns.

So my audio stopped working. I was playing music and it just stopped. I tried restarting the unit. The sound would come on and then die again.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

SD Card not detected

Hey guys I have a Generic 2DIN Model - Model TH8581GA and it seems that no matter what I do the SDCard module of the unit will not detect my micro SDCard, I have tried with two other SDCards and still it will not detect those neither... I have system format the unit and reset to no avail, and have tried to MCU update the unit but it will come back as " SDCard 0 not found " " Update Success! ". Even though it says success it actually fails. Could it be that the SDCard module fried or can i fix it with a system flash. Also is there a way to adb flash or any other way of flashing the unit without using the SDcard.. Thanks for the help guys, this thread have been very usefull..

button problem

Hi ,

Here's how it worked on my TH8581GA The instruction manual and Hal9k's instructions say press and hold any buttons, not true.

Procedure goes like this:

1. Turn off unit using volume control button

2. Insert microsd card containing system

3. Press and hold menu button and volume control knob

4. You can release these as soon as system flash has started

5. Wait for system upgrade to finish it will reboot or turn off as soon as it;s done

6. If it reboots it will ask you to do screen calibration, do it.

7. Power down using volume control knob.

8. Use a root checker to see if your rooted.

9. If it says you are, good Job enjoy!!!http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Hi,

has anybody figured out how to use the Media Buttons on the device for non-native music apps? There must be something running in the background that captures the input and doesn't send it to other apps.. Or they are not recognized as standard "media control" buttons and only the native apps know what they have to do when one of the buttons is pressed. But then we should be able to create some deamon running in the background translating these to standard media control commands.. Or some tasker sorcery..

Hi Guys,

Im only new here so please go easy on me.

I purchased an OUKU unbranded stereo from EBay a few months ago. I would like to upgrade the Android software if possible.

I'm running 2.3.7 at the moment and I hate it.

CPU: FREESCALE I.MX535D Cortex A8 1GHz

Ram: DDR3 512M

Sys Ver: 2.13.11

Is there a way to flash the android software. I haven't rooted the unit and I'm not sure if its rooted.

I ordered such a unit (well, the Ford model of it, but should be similar) today, but I can't tell you yet. It will take like two weeks to arrive. Before I asked Witson about the contradiction between "i.mx535d" and "A9", "dual core". I got the reply, that it got indeed an i.mx535d, which they just "call" A9. Notice that the Product-Codes are "W2-A9xxx".
